remedy for a happy day.

Lately, I've been down. No, the word is depressed. My mind and heart have felt completely numb and I've lost myself. I've wanted so badly to be happy but could not find it anywhere. This week, I woke up and slowly the "little things" presented themselves in lovely ways. Today, as in Thursday the 15th day of September in the 2011th year, I can say...

I'm happy.

This was my remedy for happiness:

pray. everyday, all day, everywhere, anytime.

breath. go outside every morning and breath. it's lovely.

time alone. don't even answer your phone.

share. when something good happens, tell someone about it.

red lipstick. although, some of my readers are men, i suggest this strongly to my female readers.

long chats and late nights. thankfully, i have the best friends and they patiently listened to my worries and joys. Savannah, I love you.

be with children. nothing does more for the soul than the tenderness of a child.

smell the flowers. it's how angels smell.

 name a star. we named one Henry.

laugh. laugh so hard you almost pee your pants.

watch a love a story, (first thing in the morning). it made my day so happy.

serve. whatever it is, just serve.

 talk with an angel. mine happened to be sweet Ashley from special needs mutual.

dance. dance in your bedroom, in the kitchen, down the street, in the store. just dance.

music. listen to your favorite song(s) and sing it at the top of your lungs.

do something you've never done before. it's amazing.

give prayer of thanks. thank God for everything you can think of. all the small things. He loves those.

forgive. even when it's not deserved.

colored tights. enough said.

 make new friends. people are so kind and lovely.

wake up with a smile. life is good.

What a beautiful day it is to be alive.
